Description: | a copper alloy toilet article of probable Roman date. It consists of a curved shaft, circular in section, which tapers to one terminal at which is set a complete loop.It is 2mm in width at this point, and the loop is 5.06mm in external diameter,and 3mm in internal diameter. The opposite, broader terminal measures 2.75mm in width, and is incomplete due to an old break. The object measures 51.2mm in length and weighs 2.93g. There are toilet articles from Roman Colchester and from Hatcheston, with similar looped terminals, which would allow the object to be suspended as part of a toilet article set..(Blagg et al, 2004). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Carr, Jane - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
